Where Lewis and Clark finished the rum
picture a 1964 Dodge 1.5 ton 4x4 with 315 x 22.5 truck tires, retrofitted with a GM 8.2 diesel, Clark 5 spd, GMC steering column, 3.5 inches of free play in the steering, home made tip to front "hood", cab extended up about 6", 400 gal (need more) x 60 ft boom Marflex and more electronics than you can shake a stick at, including EZ Steer. We spray 10 - 16 mph depending on dust and chem, and the EZ Steer does a nice job. In soft soil or mud it is challenged, but it goes straighter than I can even with good guidance.

BTW - I am claiming the current record for cig lighter outlet / 12 volt lead usage, while doing
some cooperative work with a research center...

1 - Trimble AG 132 - GreenSeeker
2 - Ag 132 #2 - Crop Circle Scanner
3 - IPAQ with GuideMate for weed logging
4 - Laptop 1 - Sitemate VRA for GreenSeeker logging
5 - GreenSeeker
6 - Holland Scientific GeoScout and Crop Circle Scanner
7 - EZGuide/Steer so I can play with scanners :o)
8 - Laptop 2 for Sitemate - Display map of spot treatments needed
9 - Cell phone
10 - Novatel GPS for elevation
11 - Laptop 3 - for Novatel data collection
12 - Cell phone booster
13- Remote screen - in front of steering wheel.

And extravehicular -

Novatel base station
Laptop 4 - for Novatel base station collection

Good thing I don't have work to do eh?
